Described as both a ‘Vertical City’ and ‘A Living Wonder,’ Burj Khalifa, at the heart of downtown Dubai, is also the world’s tallest building.
Developed by Dubai-based Emaar Properties PJSC, Burj Khalifa rises gracefully from the desert and honors the city with its extraordinary union of art, engineering and meticulous craftsmanship.
At 828 meters (2,716.5 feet), the equivalent of a 200
story building, Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels, the most of any building in the world. The tower was inaugurated on January 4, 2010, to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Arguably the world’s most interesting construction
project, Burj Khalifa is responsible for a number of world-firsts.
The tower became the world’s tallest man-made structure
just 1,325 days after excavation work started in January 2004.
Burj Khalifa utilized a record-breaking 330,000 cubic
meters (430,000 cubic yards) of concrete; 39,000 tons of steel reinforcement; 103,000 square meters (1.1 million square feet) of glass; and 15,500 square meters (167,000 square feet) of embossed stainless steel. The tower took 22 million man-hours to build.
With a total built-up area of 526,000 square meters (5.67 million square feet), Burj Khalifa features 170,000 square meters (1.85 million square feet) of residential space, over 28,000 square meters (300,000 square feet) of office space, with remaining area occupied by a luxury hotel.
In 2003, as a result of an international design competition,
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) was selected from
a group of five international competitors to carry out the
architecture and engineering of the Burj Khalifa.
